It is a bug.

Fixing problem was not difficult. Built yesterday archives both for 
v2gnu and beta/v2gnu. All seems to be OK.

There is still one issue:

That is one thing where I have given up. Last GCC version which I tried 
to build on non LFN system was gcc-2.95.3 (maybe even more ancient, I 
don't remember exactly).
